MILTON WEBBER, OF FORT WAYNE, INDIANA.

SIPHON.

SPECIFICATION forming pa'rt of Letters Patent No. 264,381, dated September 12, 1882. Application filed July 6, 1882. (No model.)

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, MILTON N. WEBBER, of Fort Wayne, in the county ot' Allen, and in the lState of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Siphons; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention has for its object to produce certain improved means whereby liquids may be drawn from vessels-such as barrels and the like-without disturbing' the sediment or agitating the contents of the vessel; and to this end it consists of a siphou provided with a peculiar attachment at one end, constructed as more fully hereinafter specified.

Thel drawing represents a View section and partly in side elevation proved Siphon.

The letter Aindicates the siphon proper, which consists of a iiexible tube.

partly in ot' my im- B indicates the attachment, which consists of a cylindrical block provided with an eX- ternally screw-threaded extension, C, which is secured in one end of the flexible tube. The said extension and block are formed with a passage, D, leading to a chamber, E, in the lower part of the block, from which radiate the passages F, four innumber in the present instance and at right angles to each other, although more or less of said passages may be employed.

The operation of my invention is as follows: The metallic block is lowered into the liquid in the vessel by means of the iiexible tube, and drops quietly to the bottom without agitating the liquid. The liquidis then drawn oli' in the same manner as by an ordinary siphon, and as the radial passages lie some distance above the bottom ot' the blockl it will be evident. that thesediment will not be disturbed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the flexible tube, of the metallic block, having a screw-threaded eX tension to which the tube is secured, the extension and block having a passage extending to a chamber in the block, from which extend radial passages laterally, as and for the purposes specilied.

In testimony in presence of June, 1882.

whereof I aflix my signature,
